12. Yep, here's how George W. Bush described them

"Our enemies are innovative and resourcefull, and so are we. They never stop thinking of ways to harm our country and our people,

and neither do we."

George W. Bush, accidentally telling the truth

That was my email signature line in 2005.

I added this, about his re-selection

"I prophesy to you this evil man will plunge our Reich into the abyss and will inflict immeasurable woe on our nation. Future generations will curse you in your grave for this action." Erich Ludendorff

the abyss? Did I exxagerate? Be hyperbolic?

You decide. For myself, I think western civilization came that close, all too close, to going down with a crash.
